Default $22: Any way to get away from AA?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB (t1670)
BB (t6256)
Hero (t3702)
Button (t1872)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t400</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls t250.

Flop: (t875) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t450</font>, BB calls t450.

Turn: (t1775) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t1000</font>, BB calls t1000.

River: (t3775) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t1350</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ?</font>

Final Pot: t7479

Villain is 25/6, and has gotten lucky with some big hands to build his stack. Can I fold this, and should I have just pushed the turn?

I bet bigger on flop setting yourself up for a push on the turn.

I find it hard to beleive that he caught runner runner flush here or made a straight. Although wouldnt be suprised if he rivered 2 pair with K7 or something wank.

I dont see why someone would play Kx like this, check/call all the way then finally bet the river. So hes either improved, has a missed diamond draw, or slow played something thats had us all the way.

Bet more on the flop, then you might be able to push turn.

Bet more on the flop, 3/4 pot to full pot I'd say. On the turn, a push is a pretty big overbet and I don't think it's optimal. If you had bet more on the flop, a shove on turn would be more realistic and a better play. As played, call riv (I initially misread it as 4 hearts).

I can't fold this on the river. It's possible he has QhJh, but he can have a ton of other stuff on the river, and I don't generally buy the runner-runner flush story. Even if he had it, most donks would expect you to bet again and go for the raise.

I'd bet more flop and, failing that, more on the turn.

As a general rule, I'm not willing to lay down AA unless I face a board that clearly beats me or action that it would take a miracle to be ahead of. Neither is true here.
